And now we begin the account of Joseph. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them. ~ Genesis 37:2b And so begins the time of trial for Joseph. A righteous young man, despised by his brothers who do wrong. I’d bet that Joseph gave bad reports on most, if not all, his brothers. I think Joseph, more than any other in scripture points toward Jesus. I’ve seen comparison lists ranging from 60-75 to over 100 similarities. Needless to say, I’m not listing them all. I will however, share a few: Joseph (Jesus) was most beloved by his father (God) and his brothers (unbelievers) hated him because of his close relationship to the father. Both Joseph and Jesus were sold off for money. Eventually, everyone bowed/will bow down to both Joseph and Jesus. They were servants among men. They were innocent, but wrongly accused. They’re prophets. They fed the hungry masses. They weren’t recognized for who they were.
We returned to the Park in Trussville because there was more to explore!
We began on the bike/hike/ADA trail. It also had some exercise equipment along the way, which of course, we had to check out!

Yes, I know they’re weeds, but I haven’t seen a blooming flower for a while. : )
Eventually, we found our way into the woods and enjoyed a total of about 7 miles today.
to the ramp where I’m standing.
Not sure I even wanna see that!
Then we went to Jim n Nick’s for some BBQ! And yes, before you ask, I took pictures from the internet.
David had fun showing off his hobby.
The room they’re standing in is very pink, but you can’t tell from the picture. : )
